AGE OF AQUARIUS

As we get closer to 21 December, fear and suspense within people are increasing because there are many negative comments on this day. Most of the people believe that it is the end of the world and life. Doomsday is coming. As a proof, they show us the Mayan Calendar because their calendar ends up on 21 December 2012.  Hence, this must be the end of the world, they say. However, what I suggest is a different attitude towards this day. I think every end is actually a new start. From this point, 21 December is the day of a new age. Astrologists call it ‘’Age of Aquarius’’ and some call it ‘’New Age’’ or ‘’the Millennium’’. And if you want me to show you a proof, I can find one and disprove the claim of catastrophic end of the world put forward by the others.

The picture on the left is taken from an ancient Mayan book known as Dresden Codex. This image depicts the winter solstice of 2012 and the end of time. There is a mythical water bearer in the middle and he announces the end of the age but also the starting of a new age. Water bearer is the symbol of Aquarius in astrology, so this new age called Aquarius was known by the Mayans.

Astrologists expect this new age to bring peace, happiness and success for people. Moreover, people themselves will feel the difference in their lives. They will improve themselves.

In last, you can have many sources related to this subject. Some are bad and some are good. Some are pessimistic and some are optimistic. If you are lucky, you can get even some realistic approaches. I strongly advise you to be optimistic and realistic as much as possible because it is your life and your philosophy of life influences it mostly. I believe that what you think and feel comes to you finally. I do not say that after 21 December, we will pass an old age and start to experience a new life or the world will die. I am not an expert in astrology. I just want to go on my life in a better way and that is why I appreciate the Age of Aquarius.
